Hopefully I can get a bit more shrink out of the knee and leg opening. It only gave me ~.3” after a 40 minute hot soak and 3 hour cold soak while I was at work.
Agitation is your best bet for getting all the shrinkage out, so give them a gentle wash. Although a third of an inch from narrow horizontal measurements sounds about right tbh
I figured I was pretty close to the max shrinkage. I’ll throw them into another bath once they get back from hemming.

Ok, so I let the machine run and tumble and then when the final
Spin is about to start I yank them out… ok thanks man. -

IH directions that came with the denim recommend a cold soak. I’m doing that now and will wash them later. How the hell am I gonna get these inside out while wet?

Yeah she will probably enjoy my struggle. Lol

Fuck me looks like there wa soap in the washer from a previous user. Gonna man these before the spin starts

This is how I have to dry these… thoughts? I can hang them in the shower over night. But for now I got this. There is also a lot of Little wrinkles on them. No Color loss streaks though... maybe some Leg twist on the left leg ? Thoughts please
That brown spot was something on the Lense

@jvicente86:
Post-soak measurements and photos. Didn't struggle much getting these on and I might have been able to squeeze into a 35 but I didn't want to risk the thigh being too tight
Fit looks really good [emoji1434] Great job documenting shrinkage too. Very helpful to others.

I’m noob to front loading machinesI take it I’m a bit late now (it was nighttime here when you posted) but for future reference, I leave mine in for the whole cycle, but set the rpm’s all the way down (400 is the lowest on mine) and adjust the temp depending on how much shrinkage I want. If you don’t have that option then washing on the wool/silk program does the same job although often no warmer than 40C.
Looks like it went well though, unless your infinitely better half flipped because of the towel… [emoji51]

Sounds like you didn’t get enough agitation or warmth in the wash. Mine shrank a little over a inch with a cold wash
